The AcousticPerformance™ AP-212sw is a
premium, high performance, direct radiating
dual 12-inch subwoofer designed for use in
portable and installed sound applications.
The AP-212sw provides exceptional punch
while maintaining ample extension so the
musically important fundamentals are solidly
and accurately reproduced. With a matching
profile to the AP-4122m and AP5122m full
range models, the AP-212sw is an ideal
companion, providing added low frequency
extension and musical accuracy to the
AcousticPerformance portfolio.
The AP-212sw features dual 12-inch woofers
reversed mounted on a V-baffle for improved
thermal protection and performance. The
15mm Baltic Birch enclosure is finished in
an environmentally friendly, waterborne,
polymer finish rugged enough for the
demands of everyday use while also being
field repairable. Internal bracing is employed
to eliminate acoustic losses due to panel
resonance while maintaining the lightweight
enclosures robustness. Ample port area
allows free movement of air resulting in
minimal turbulence and port distortion.
The versatility of the AP-212sw is evidenced
by two pole mount options for both vertical
and horizontal applications. Furthermore,
when horizontal, the AP-212sw has a
shallow height, desirable for under riser
installs. The AP-212sw includes four
integrated handles and an optional caster
kit for ease of transport.
The AP-212sw input cup features dual NL4
connectors in a crossed configuration, where
pins 2 of the input are returned to pins 1 on
the thru output. This clever configuration
allows a single NL4 cable to carry both sub
and top box signals without the need of a
custom turn cable.
Presenting a clean, unobtrusive look,
AcousticPerformance grilles are unadorned
eliminating the need to cover-up logo
treatments which can be difficult to hide
or remove. The grille is also lined with
acoustically transparent backing adding to
the enclosure’s professional appearance.
The AP-212sw is available in black (RAL
9011) finish.
To further enhance performance and speed
of install with optimum result, proprietary
Intrinsic Correction™ tunings are obtainable
via Q-Sys networked audio processing
platforms, including CXD and PLD amplifiers
for a complete QSC systems solution.
To assist in successful systems integration,
complete EASE, CAD, and BIM files are
available for online download at qsc.com
